The nucleophilic aromatic substitution of bromine into 2-bromo-1-ethylpyridinium bromide (I) in its reaction with triethylamine (II) is accompanied by subsequent oxidation of the intermediates by molecular oxygen dissolved in acetonitrile. The following reaction products were identified: 1-ethyl-2-pyridone, triethylamine N-oxide, and the hydrobromide salt of triethylamine. The reaction kinetics was studied with reagents ratios
[II] >> [O2] >> [I]. The reaction has first-order kinetics relative to the reagents.
